Title: Noise on ripping or burning
Post by: Sniffy on January 23, 2002, 08:39:47 pm

I rip a lot of CD. Some are in bad quality.
On some tracks, I have like a scratching noise which increase during 10 seconds before stopping.
Is it the CD or MJ?
Is there a way for that?
Sorry for my english.
Pour les français.
J'ai, sur certains CD ripper et sur certains morceaux seulement, une sorte de scratch pendant dix secondes.
Je pense que la qualité du CD rippé y est pour quelquechose. Je voulais en avois confirmation.

I had that, too.  I moved the cat's litter box to a different room, and haven't heard it since.

Just make sure that the ripping is accompanied by noise. Most complaints are generated by the belief that they're deadly when silent. The scratching may be related to the burning.


Not putting' my name to this one

Try using "secure mode" for ripping. This is selectable on the CD settings page (or Device settings for version 8). This mode does multiple passes to try to get the best copy. It will be slower but might get rid of the scratchy sound.

Sniffy,
Yep, that happens sometimes with badly scractched CDs.
As JohnT suggested try setting a secure mode for ripping. If that fails you can try to rip your CD
using EAC (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/). If that fails too, you can try playing your CD on a
standard (Hifi) CD player and record through the line-in !

En effet, avec certains CD bien abimes (ceux qui ont servis maintes et maintes fois lors
des soirees endiablees) l'operation de lecture sur un lecteur CD-ROM peut entrainer des pertes
d'informations, donc des bruits bien audibles a la lecture. C'est pour cela que MJ propose un mode
de lecture qui va relire plusieurs fois les zones abimes du CD (secure mode). Un autre utilitaire
tres utilise (EAC) utilise aussi un algorithme de lecture permettant de corriger ces erreurs.
Evidemment si le CD est vraiment tres endommage, il se peut que cela ne marche pas. Dans ce cas,
il est toujours possible d'essayer de lire le CD avec un lecteur audio standard et de beneficier
ainsi des circuits correcteurs d'erreurs sophistiques que comportent ces derniers.

Bonne chance et ne t'en fait pas pour ton anglais
